The Verve

UK indie rock band led by Richard Ashcroft, known for deft, if somber, songwriting, and massive hit "Bittersweet Symphony."

Biography

Long acclaimed as one of the most innovative and spellbinding bands on the contemporary British pop scene, the Verve finally broke through to a mass international audience in 1997 with the instant classic [roviLink="MC"]"Bittersweet Symphony." The group's rise was the culmination of a long, arduous journey that began at the dawn of the decade and went on to encompass a major breakup, multiple lawsuits, and an extensive diet of narcotics. The Verve created one of the most complex and rewarding bodies of work in modern rock & roll long before most listeners even learned of the group's existence. ~ Jason Ankeny
